“…Based on the focal mechanisms and distribution of epicenters, Görgün et al () suggested the activation of a NW–SE‐trending left lateral strike‐slip fault with a reverse component. On the other hand, Dogan, Irmak, Karakas, and Kalafat () suggested that oblique faulting connected with NW–SE extension is more dominant than the strike‐slip component, which forms the area between Fethiye Bay and the Rhodes Basin.…”

In the Fethiye Gulf on the southwest coast of Turkey, several submerged archaeological sites provide useful data about relative sea level changes since the Byzantine period. The current elevations of contemporary archaeological structures were measured to determine the amount of relative sea level change. The archaeological sea level markers in this seismically active region provide new data about the amount and period of relative sea level rise. Taking into consideration the time of the last use of the structures, instead of their time of construction, three different rates of vertical land movement of 2.18 ± 0.3, 2.96 ± 0.3, and 3.29 ± 0.5 mm/yr were estimated. These data indicate that tectonic activity differs from region to region, most likely related to local normal faults in the gulf. Recent earthquakes have confirmed active seismicity in this area. These results demonstrate that the changing sea levels in the Fethiye Gulf have been strongly influenced by vertical tectonic movement over the last 1,400 years. Results also contribute to studies of future coastal changes in the Fethiye Gulf and its surroundings.

“…The most recent earthquake activity occurred off Fethiye Bay on June 10, 2012, which had a mainshock of Mw = 6 due to activation of NW–SE trending left‐lateral strike‐slip fault (Görgün et al, 2014). On the other hand, Doğan et al (2016) suggested that oblique faulting connected with NW–SE extension, which forms the area between Fethiye Bay and the Rhodes Basin, is dominant.…”

We investigated three coastal archaeological sites along the coast of Fethiye (south‐western Turkey, eastern Mediterranean) to reveal relative sea‐level changes that have occurred since early Byzantine times. Focusing on this little known period, the most recent archaeological data are presented here, providing new data for the history of sea‐level changes. Current elevations of submerged archaeological remains relative to present sea level were measured, and relative sea‐level change was determined, based on an approximation of the original elevation. The contemporary archaeological structures revealed three different sea levels in adjacent areas. Taking into account the time of the last use of the structures, instead of their time of construction, we suggest a relative sea‐level rise at a minimum rate of 1.6 ± 0.3 mm/year for Şövalye Island, 2.1 ± 0.3 mm/year for Gemiler Island, and 2.2 ± 0.6 mm/year for Ölüdeniz Lagoon for the last 1400 years. A comparison of the study results and geoarchaeological data from nearby sites on the western coasts of Fethiye Gulf revealed the degree of sea‐level change impact upon coastal archaeological sites. Results demonstrate that the seismically active Fethiye coast has been strongly influenced by the vertical tectonic movement since early Byzantine times.
